IF

If

by Rudyard Kipling

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or, being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with triumph and disaster
And treat those two imposters just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with wornout tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on";

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch;
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run -
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man my son!

The Proposal

Rating:	★★★★★
Category:	Movies
Genre:	Romantic Comedy

The Proposal is about an executive editor-in-chief Margaret Tate whose Visa Application was denied and was about to be deported to her hometown.

Since she is a native of Canada, she could not continue to work for an American Company, so she abruptly thought of something that would save her and that’s to blackmail her good-looking assistant Andrew Paxton and force him to marry her.


Mr. Gilbertson (a government investigator) informed them that they will undergo various testing to prove that the marriage is not just for the reason of Margaret staying in her company. Andrew agreed under the condition that he will be promoted as editor and that Margaret will publish his manuscripts.


They went home to Sitka, Alaska (Andrew’s hometown) to let his family know about their PLANNED wedding, and to Margaret’s surprise, Andrew belongs to a family whose business is at the four corners of Alaska.
(Simply owning the entire town) :)

Their 3 days vacation made Margaret realize that he could not do this to Andrew, especially to his family. She appreciated the feeling of having a family, and the feeling of being In Love with Andrew.



---TWO THUMBS UP for this film, I simply loved it. if I had 10 Thumbs, I’ll raise it all for this movie.. It’s a love story that’s not so cheesy but instead they showed a lot of respect for each other which is much better than kilig moments but you’ll surely laugh and sob at the same time just like me..
